Real Life by Lincoln Brewster
Real Life
Intro: G D/F# C
G
I still see the kid in me
D/F#
Building castles by the sea
C G
And skipping rocks across those ocean waves
G
Still building buoy rafts
D/F#
And sailing on the Kachemak
C G
And running wild across Alaskan plains
Bm C G/D D
And all my yesterdays don't seem so long ago now
Bm C
And all those early years
G/D D
will always seem like home somehow
G D/F#
And it was real life, and it was real good
C
It was a place I took for granted
G/D D
'cause I just never understood
G D/F#
And there was real pain, there were real tears
C
But the way my Mama loved me
G/D D
somehow carried all those years
G D/F# C G D/F# C
It was real life, Oh it was real life
G
I still see the kid in jeans
D/F#
But now he's standing next to me
C G
Never thought that I'd have boys to raise
G
I don't have it figured out
D/F#
It still feels like playing house
C G
And it's something I am learning everyday
Bm C G/D D
And all of my todays seem like they're rushing by so fast
Bm C G/D D
And every time I look around I pray that it will last
G D/F#
And it's real life, and it's real good
C
And sometimes I take it all for granted
G/D D
even though I never should
G D/F#
And there is real pain, and there are real tears
C
But the way my baby loves me
G/D D
somehow carries all these years
G D/F#
And this is real life
Interlude: Em C G D (2x) C
G
When I'm old and turning grey
D/F#
And my boys have moved away
C G
When it's time for me to say goodbye
G
I hope I leave a legacy
D/F#
I hope that God is proud of me
C G
I hope that I leave something good behind
Bm C G/D D
And all my yesterdays are flashing right before my eyes
Bm C G/D D
And I'm standing in God's presence when I finally realize
G D/F#
This is real life, this is real good
C G/D D
It's a place I took for granted 'cause I just never understood
G D/F#
And there'll be no pain, and there'll be no tears
C G/D D
'Cause the way my Father loves me is the reason I am here
G D/F# C G D/F# C
This is real life, oh this is real life
G D/F# C
Oh this is real life

I still see the kid in me
Building castles by the sea
And skipping rocks across those ocean waves
Still building buoy rafts
And sailing on the Kachemak
And running wild across Alaskan plains
And all my yesterdays
Don't seem so long ago now
And all those early years
Will always seem like home somehow
And it was real life
And it was real good
It was a place I took for granted
'Cause I just never understood
And there was real pain
There were real tears
But the way my Mama loved me
Somehow carried all those years
It was real life, oh it was real life

But now he's standing next to me
Never thought that I'd have boys to raise
I don't have it figured out
It still feels like playing house
And it's something I am learning everyday
And all of my today's seem
Like they're rushing by so fast
And every time I look around
I pray that it will last
And it's real life
And it's real good
And sometimes I take it all for granted
Even though I never should
And there is real pain
And there are real tears
But the way my baby loves me
Somehow carries all these years
And this is real life
When I'm old and turning gray
And my boys have moved away

This is real life
This is real good
It's a place I took for granted
'Cause I just never understood
And there'll be no pain
And there'll be no tears
'Cause the way my Father loves me
Is the reason I am here
This is real life
Oh, this is real life
This is real life
